Berkeley Study on Stewart/Colbert - Comedy as News/News as Comedy

by berkeleynewscomedystudy@[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mar 8, 2008 at 07:12 PM

Hello to all,

News as Comedy, Comedy as News -- So What!?

     The Colbert Report and The Daily Show sparked a group of students
at UC Berkeley to ask what it means to have mainstream news and
politics to be laughable, and for sharp critique to come mostly from
comedy-news shows.
     The Colbert Report and The Daily Show seem central to this new
humorous approach to news. But, we want to ask as wide an audience as
possible what they think this means.
     What is happening in the world of news as comedy, comedy as news?
Does it matter? Can it do anything? Anything!? Why does it matter to
you? We invite anyone interested to (please) send an email to
berkeleynewscomedystudy@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 to give opinions, answer some
questions, and let us know what you think.


Thanks,

Berkeley News-Comedy Study
